Sonneratia caseolaris leaf extract was characterized for its mitigation of the electrochemical corrosion of steel in naturally aerated hydrochloric acid environments by electrochemical methods and surface analysis. The presence of S. caseolaris leaf extract (SCLE) in the hydrochloric acid medium ameliorated the corrosion resistance of steel via the adsorption of SCLE species to form a barrier layer. The improved inhibition effectiveness was demonstrated to be independent of the SCLE concentration and the corrosive environment. The highest inhibition performance of approximately 98% was reached for steel in a 1 M HCl medium containing 2500 ppm SCLE. The performance significantly decreased with a decrease in the HCl concentration from 1.00 to 0.01 M with the same SCLE concentration. In addition, severe corrosion occurred on the uninhibited steel surface but was significantly reduced on the inhibited steel surface. The analyzed results also indicated the existence of electronegative functional groups in SCLE, which could promote the adsorption process for the self-formation of the barrier layer on the steel surface. The work reported herein suggested a powerful strategy to mitigate electrochemical corrosion by adding an effective new inhibitor to achieve a green inhibitor system.
The project implementation schedule is an important plan for every construction project, to reduce and control project delays. The implementation of urban development investment projects is increasing in terms of both quality and quantity as urban areas are rapidly developing in cities. However, many construction projects are scheduled but they are late from due time. As the number of urban development investment projects increases, understanding the causes of project delays will help project managers and stakeholders limit these delays. This paper investigates all those factors which are causing a delay in the development of urban investment projects These factors are further developed through expert knowledge elicitation using the Delphi method. Lastly, as based on the issues identified were run to determine how they affected project delays. Finally, a survey based on the issues identified factors was conducted to assess how they affected project delays. The linear regression model is used to analyze the results from the survey. The results of the study indicate that there are six main factors that cause the delay in the implementation of urban development investment projects in Vietnam, including Policy, Design, Cooperation, Implementation, Financing and Objective factors. The study's findings indicate that there are six primary groups of elements, including Policy, Design, Collaboration, Implementation, Finance, and Objective factors, that contribute to the delay in the execution of urban development investment projects in Vietnam. The study offers a research model for the factors that contribute to delays in the execution of construction projects for urban development. This finding can serve as a foundation for ideas on how to deal with this issue in Vietnam as well as a guide for similar works.
